Attention Is the Real Starting Point

Описание: Clarity doesn’t always arrive through intention, effort, or even calm.
In this video, I explore why so many thoughtful, sensitive people find themselves hesitating right at the moment of knowing — and why attention and orientation matter more than forcing decisions or perfect regulation.
This is not a video about fixing yourself.
It’s about learning how to locate yourself honestly, so movement can become lighter and more intelligent.

In this video, we explore:
Why clarity often feels delayed — especially in January
How nervous system language can quietly turn into a gatekeeper
The difference between regulation and orientation
Why being “self-aware” doesn’t always translate into movement
What it actually means to know where you are before deciding where to go

A gentle next step (free)
If this video resonates, you may find it helpful to explore The 3 Manifestation Bottlenecks Sensitive People Encounter — a short, free guide designed to help you see where things tend to get stuck, without self-blame or over-effort.
Rather than asking what you’re doing wrong, it helps you identify:
when desire is unclear or inherited
when receiving is constrained
when effort turns into holding too tightly
You don’t need to fix everything at once.
Orientation is already movement.
